Egypt's New Government moves to Regulate Protests

Good for them!

The only people whining about it seems to be the  Muslim Brotherhood and their sympathizers.
A draft law that would strictly regulate street protests in Egypt is drawing fierce criticism from rights groups and exposing fresh cracks in the broad coalition that backed the military coup against President Mohammed Morsi in July. 
The legislation, drafted this month by the military-appointed interim government, grants authorities the power to cancel demonstrations or quickly escalate to the use of lethal force for vague reasons, including threats to the public order.
Deputy Prime Minister Ziad Bahaa al-Din said in a statement on his official Facebook page Monday that the Cabinet would probably delay the bill due to mounting opposition. Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi said in a television interview Sunday that the government is open to considering amendments to the legislation. 
But if signed into law by Interim President Adly Mansour, the current version would impose a blanket ban on public sit-ins and require protesters to seek advance permission from the Interior Ministry to hold a demonstration. Violators would face harsh fines and up to three years in prison.

I believe the Military Government should DO WHATEVER NECESSARY to insure the safety of 'ALL' Egyptians and to restore stability in their cities and streets.
